up being successful in the ratings in
popularity and in terms of longevity if
you’re interested in seeing the other
side of the coin don’t forget to check
out our list of the top 10 worst TV
spin-offs this is just astounding here
you are blind deaf and barely able to
walk yet you conducted simultaneous
affairs with three members of the royal
family the question on all of America’s
mind is how did you do it why number 10
Law & Order Special Victims Unit
spinoff of Law & Order question who’d
want to cut your penis off
take a number the fact that series star
Mariska Hargitay makes about a half a
million dollars per episode should tell
you a little something about the
powerhouse that is the Law & Order
family and how do you feel about that
writing on the original series decades
of success SVU focuses on the
investigation and prosecution of sex
related crimes but keeps a similar
format and tone to its parent series
well think how’s your here budget
everything you told me to
that winning formula as well as great
acting writing and guest stars help the
show survive past the cancellation of
its progenitor and its award-winning
sibling series criminal intent
an empty condom wrapper trophy honcho
knit off huh and they say a prep school
education is a waste of money
number nine CSI Miami spin-off of CSI
crime scene investigation told us we
don’t need them to we’ve got the whole
story right here
the original CSI was groundbreaking and
dazzling when it debuted but the one
thing it’s missing is horatio Caine a
character you just can’t help but like
even though you try not to tell
everybody can live in Miami man oh here
in the sticks gotta put the Keystone
Cops in never made two six o’clock knows
ap’to you all over TV open people what
happens with you if I find you first
and although they’re cut from the same
cloth these two CSI shows were
immediately distinguishable from each
other
it’s all fake it’s all counterfeit the
color saturated visuals and
ultraviolence of Miami coupled with
Horatio’s flowing one-liners and the
slew of absurdly wealthy and attractive
murderers form the perfect recipe for a
successful spin-off that lasted ten
seasons I think you can explain that a
whole lot better than I can
number eight Saved by the Bell spin-off
of good morning miss bliss

week Oh oh it was nothing it was nothing

things I ask of you try your best come
to me if you have any problems and never
show up late without a great excuse let
me guess
hole terrorists we’re travels fast
based on the short-lived show good

school teacher and her students the
premise was thankfully revised into the
sitcom that became a viewing staple for
every teenager in the 90s
by the
cuz I’m sleep on the bed

qualified my dad owns a hardware store
number six
angel spin-off of Buffy the Vampire
Slayer
I may be dead guys step aside all you
Twihards or you might get bit today
David Boreanaz is popular for his role
on bones but a generation of 30-year old
fans still call him angel the original
vampire with a conscience only more
tolerable I know who you are what you’re
doing here stay the hell away from me
and you tell Russell to leave me alone a
series regular on Buffy the Vampire
